Autophagy as the effector and player in DNA damage response of cells to genotoxicants

In this review, we provide an overview and discuss the molecular mechanism of DNA damage induced autophagy, and their mutual regulation and its role in cell fate determination in response to genotoxic effects of environmental toxicants.
